Gregg the Egg

2007 - Jan Willem Nijman

Gregg the Egg is a freeware game,
feel free to distribute it as long as you mention the creator.


ABOUT:

In Gregg the Egg, you play as a small creature that has just hatched out of his egg.
You will have to guide him trough a dangerous world, filled with hungry monsters,
deep waters, dangerous spikes and deadly traps.

Luckily, gregg has the power to adapt. Here and there he will find powers and learn new skills.
If you are smart enough, you will be able to escape this mad dimension.


Objects:

There are several objects in GtE, like launchers, or teleporters.
Most of them are activated with the down key.

Gems:

There are 14 gems hidden trough the game. These are important if you want to complete the game 100%.

Hardcore mode:

Hardcore mode is for the insane fans of GtE. You only have one life and no map while playing hardcore.
Also, gregg will have a kickass bandana.


CONTROLS:

The entire game is played using only the arrow keys and space.
Escape closes the game.
F4 changes between full screen and windowed.
Window can be resized.


TIPS:

Gregg is a smart creature, most of the dangerous areas don't need much platforming skills.
A good set of brains should be enough.

When you keep the up key pressed, gregg will jump higher. However, you an also reverse this,
when releasing the up key, gregg will slow down in air. Use this to your advantage.

When you are blasted into water with high enough speeds, gregg will hold on to the bottom.

When being idle for a certain time, the timer will stop.

When you have certain skills and it seems like you cant use the launchers anymore,
jump as high as you can and then keep down pressed till you hit them.
